About this short report

As you read your short report, or any other astrological report, keep in mind that the energies interpreted here are your birth potentials. However, you may or may not choose to actualize these energies in the manner described. Your age, sex, socio-economic situation, education, environment, level of development, and many other factors contribute to the ways in which you express your natal energies. Remember, the planets do not compel you to do or be anything. They influence you, but you still have the free will to determine your own life.

Uranus conjunction Venus: Less routine

Mid-May 2017 until mid-April 2018: The effects of this influence are often quite spectacular.
You are likely to seek new freedom and excitement through your relationships. You may even
decide to break away from an old, steady marriage or other relationship and seek a second
youth through a new affair. But this is an extreme response which is by no means inevitable,
especially if your current relationship is basically sound. It is more likely that you will
change your existing relationships, sexual and otherwise, so that they are more interesting
and less routine. Every relationship, no matter how good, settles into behavior patterns that
kill spontaneity and make you both feel that you have little to offer each other. In other
words, you get bored. You can count on this influence to change the situation.
The means by which you revive and renew a relationship will vary according to your
temperament. If a relationship is quite unsatisfactory and you are naturally impulsive, you
may respond in the "classic" manner by seeking a new love affair. If you are more
conservative and also happier in an existing relationship, you will go through a period of
tension that will lead you to reexamine the relationship and make necessary changes. If you
are living with your partner and having problems now, a relationship counselor might be
helpful. You need new ideas to enliven your relationship, which an outsider might be able to
provide. Some couples create new arrangements under this influence, such as an open
relationship, in which they allow relationships outside of their own. In this regard you must
do what is appropriate for the two of you.
If you are not in a permanent relationship, you may become involved in a relationship that is
completely different from anything you have experienced before. However, in this case, you
should be aware that the excitement and newness of such a relationship may be a large factor
in making it work, and when it becomes older and more routine it might not last.
If you are involved in an artistic activity, you will brim over with new ideas. This can be a
very creative influence, although you may have to wait until it is over to integrate what you
have learned into your regular techniques.

From 2 December 2017 until 19 December 2017: This influence can have two opposite effects.
You will experience one or the other or a combination. It represents the culmination of
efforts begun fourteen years ago. This can be the peak of their effectiveness in your
material universe. But it can also be the time when it becomes clear that those efforts did
not succeed. Most commonly you will experience a mixture of these two effects.
On one hand, the corresponding influence fourteen years ago was the beginning of certain
efforts to build structures that would allow you to fulfill your ambitions and give you
control over your life. At that time you excluded certain areas of activity so you could
focus more effectively on the areas you wanted to influence strongly. Now the consequences of
those decisions and actions are manifest. You have succeeded in making your energies felt in
your world and you have the control you want and need. But you have to work extremely hard,
and you have tremendous responsibilities that you cannot let down.

In struggling to get to your present position, you may have triggered off opposing forces,
possibly enemies, which are waiting to move in when you show signs of slackening. The best
thing to do is hold on, maintain your efforts and do everything in your power to conciliate
these forces. Make it clear that they have nothing to gain by your defeat and everything to
win by your victory. Make yourself indispensable to them.
If this is a time when your expectations are disappointed - that is, if the other side of this
influence is manifest - you will feel that something in your surroundings gets in your way
every time you try to make a move. As described above, you have aroused opposition from
others. But if you have not been successful in reaching your goals, the forces of opposition
will be stronger than you are. The best thing to do in this case is to stop resisting, find
out what you can salvage from the current crisis, and start moving in new directions.

Jupiter sextile Moon: Warmth and generosity

End of December 2017 until beginning of September 2018: This influence makes you feel quite
good, optimistic and positive about life in general. You have strong feelings of warmth and
generosity toward others, particularly friends and those whom you encounter on a day-to-day
basis. You feel that you would like to protect and care for everyone you meet.

You will derive uncommonly deep experiences from what appear to be ordinary, routine
interactions with others. Your everyday surroundings, your family and relatives will provide
satisfactions that may be missing at other times. And these encounters will provide
opportunities to grow and to enlarge your life. The usually confined limits of daily routine
can actually become the vehicle for new chances and opportunities.

Cultivate your friendships, for there is a good chance that a friend will be able to perform a
valuable service for you at this time. And it is just as likely that you will do the same for
a friend. In either case you will come out ahead. Friendships or other relationships with
women quite often prove rewarding at this time, with various benefits. You could have an
emotional experience that enriches you, or a business opportunity, or she could act as a guide
to aspects of yourself that you do not normally experience, but which help you come to
complete self-understanding.

This influence may stimulate your interest in spiritual or religious matters, usually in the
form of a renewed interest in the religious or spiritual beliefs that you learned as a child.
Such experiences from your past can be very valuable to you now. Reliving them does not mean
you are backsliding to attitudes that you have outgrown. There is still something there for
you to realize and learn from.

On occasion this influence signifies that you are in the public eye or that you have to deal
with large groups of people in some way. In either case, you should be successful.

Jupiter sextile Jupiter: In good working order

End of December 2017 until beginning of September 2018: This is a time of balance and
equilibrium in your life, when all your affairs seem to run smoothly and without much effort
on your part. It is a time when you can relax and take it easy for a while, knowing that your
life is in good working order. This is also a time when growth seems to occur without much
effort - growth in consciousness, in your social life or wherever you feel that personal
growth is important.

But this is not really a time when you should just enjoy yourself. You should do that, to be
sure, but you should also be examining your life to see what needs to be done. It is
important to think this way now because the equilibrium that is characteristic of this period
enables you to look about yourself with reasonable calm and detachment. It is much harder to
achieve a perspective when you are in the middle of some major and possibly chaotic change.

This is a good time to achieve perspective in all possible senses of the word. It is a good
time for education, either formal or informal, for getting in touch with yourself through
self-awareness studies, or for seeing the larger world through travel.

Business transactions or negotiations are also favored now. Legal affairs also usually run
quite smoothly.

End of January 2018 until beginning of October 2018: This is a time of very big plans and the
culmination of many ideas that you have had in the past. It is possible now to make your
ideas become reality, as long as you avoid certain pitfalls. In this case the primary problem
is to avoid thinking too big or attempting something that is totally grandiose and
impractical.

If you can keep track of all of the details that go into a well-thought-out business deal,
this is an excellent time to sign contracts or to conclude any kind of commercial transaction,
but it is very important not to overlook any details that might affect the outcome. This
influence enables you to see the overall patterns in anything and to plan with foresight and
wisdom. But if you are not careful, it can also lead to sloppy thinking or planning. It is
best to work with someone else who can check over your work or plans and call your attention
to anything that you have overlooked.

Projects or plans that began up to six years ago may come to fruition now, but only if you
have been careful about details as described above. At any rate, events now will make it
clear whether these ideas were based on reality or on pipe dreams. Work out everything in
detail and leave as little as possible to chance; this will help you immensely.

Although recognizing the truth of any matter is important to you now, you must deal with
others tactfully. There is a danger of alienating people by being self-righteous or arrogant
in telling them about your ideas. It is extremely important that the breadth of vision
conferred by this influence be accompanied by tolerance and generosity. Usually it is, but
sometimes people react in the negative way just described.

The pace of events may become rather fast moving for you at this time, and that is another
reason why you must plan everything very thoroughly. You could get confused, not because the
situation is undefined or vague but because the scale of events is too large for you to grasp.
But this shouldn't happen if you have worked everything out in advance.

Jupiter trine Neptune: Direct inquiry

End of February 2018 until mid-October 2018: This influence stimulates the idealistic and
possibly the spiritual side of your personality. You seek out the more subtle manifestations
of truth and are unusually inclined to inquire directly into the secrets of life. Religious,
spiritual, and mystical subjects attract you, and studying them could indeed bring much needed
insight into your life. It is quite possible that this influence will signify someone coming
into your life who will act as a teacher or guide in your quest for meaning. It is also
possible that you will play this role for someone else. The only recommendation is to be
careful not to overidealize such a person and not to allow yourself to be overidealized, for
this could lead to disappointment later on. In spite of this problem, the chances are that
everything will work out very favorably in the long run.

In a related way, this influence arouses the humanitarian side of your personality. You have
great compassion for the sufferings of others and want very much to do something about them.
You may become involved in charitable work for others, either on the personal or on the
institutional level. And if you need help from someone, you will probably get it.

About the only negative side of this influence is that you may get into such a pleasant dreamy
state that you have little ambition or desire to achieve anything of significance. This
influence does not make you inclined to fulfill ego drives, and you may notice a slackening of
this drive in your own life. By the same token it can lure you into feeling that everything
is just fine, even when you really have to do certain things or face serious problems.

The desire to gamble or speculate is another aspect of this influence. As long as you realize
that it is possible to lose and that you must use some planning and foresight, it should be
all right. But don't let a feeling of overconfidence and the desire to take unnecessary risks
get you into a losing situation.
